Why Should I Take Care of my Feet if I Have  Diabetes ?
Health Care Guide to  Diabetes  and Your Feet  By Dr. Donald Pelto
Unfortunately, misconceptions are common for anyone who is diagnosed as having  diabetes .
Diabetes  can affect your eyes, your blood vessels and your feet.  This Guide addresses:
3 ways to prevent a foot wound
6 steps to performing a comprehensive diabetic foot exam
4 most common mistakes you can make when you have diabetes
4 questions to ask your podiatrist if you have diabetes
I hope this Guide helps you better understand the complexities and the problems you can experience as a diabetic.
These are important topics, which everyone with diabetes should be aware of.
Please feel free to pass on this Guide to your friends and loved ones.  
You may want to know more about why I am writing this Guide.
As a podiatrist, each year I see  hundreds of patients with diabetes .
I see the newly diagnosed and those who have dealt with diabetes for more than  30 years .
I hope this Guide helps you avoid common problems and mistakes many of my patients have experienced.  
Teaching is passing on wisdom. I hope you  will learn from the mistakes of others and not make your own .
To your health,  Dr. Donald Pelto 299 Lincoln Street, Suite 202 Worcester, MA 01605 508.757.4003 www.drpelto.com
